Food Safety and Regulatory Compliance

We assist clients across the food value chain including manufacturers, processors, importers, distributors, and retailers in ensuring full compliance with the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, and the comprehensive framework of regulations issued by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). Our advisory covers both day-to-day operational compliance and strategic legal issues arising from regulatory changes, inspections, product launches, and enforcement actions.

Our services extend from licensing and registration to support in audits, crisis management during enforcement actions, and structuring internal controls for product traceability and safety. We also offer regulatory guidance for complex product categories such as nutraceuticals, health supplements, proprietary foods, and novel ingredients. For clients involved in international trade, we advise on import/export compliance, Codex alignment, and global labelling standards.
